Some sad news. Tom Ross, creator of Ross Rounds (comb honey equipment), passed away in Boulder on Saturday, May 27th. Mr. Ross moved to Colorado from Ohio in 2006. I had the pleasure of meeting him at the Boulder County Beekeepers’ Association meeting in February this year. He had a warm, intelligent and engaging presence. We made tentative plans to get together and “talk bees” later this spring – an event that never came to pass. I feel a tremendous amount of sadness and loss at the passing of this opportunity to get to know Mr. Ross better.
Beekeeping knowledge is cumulative. It increases gradually from year to year. Older beekeepers are a rich source of information and experience. It’s a sad day when one dies.
